Me thinks they are trying their best to give PS4 a "Xbone" equivalent naming. Unfortunately for them, StayPlation made no sense at all.

That makes zero sense, "Xbone" is a commonly used short form for Xbox One - even fans of the console use it. Its a stupid name and X1 or XB1 (which I use) are better but you cant help stupid names. Now, PlayStation 3.5 or StayPlation 3.5 is down talking the system and is what trolls and fanboys use in articles, not a short form since that would be PS4

Xbone is a $#@! reference and pejorative slang term used by Playstation fanboys.

you got a source for that? the thought of a multi billion, multinational, corporation suddenly going "nope, not needed" holds about as much water as a sieve. decisions in a corporation that size simply don't go down like that. not to drag this into a RAM vs RAM topic, but GDDR5 can get away with running half as much ram as GDDR3. and GDDR3 can get away with half as much RAM as GDDR, again. those who advocate RAM size (on both sides) are simply looking for 'oh, mines bigger'. the size is a secondary factor. what's key is getting your 1's and 0's to and from it. GRANTED: More RAM would obviously be the best compromise for everyone, but cost's cost. to put it another way. if you had two identical bathtubs full of water. which would empty first if the only difference was the size of the drain hole?

Very true. Especially with the available RAM difference being only 512mb. The OS footprint for both consoles will shrink over time.

Of course. Because Xbone refers to the Xbox One in a derogatory fashion.

I have seen it used by both fans of the Xbox as well as the competition over Twitter. Perhaps the people who find it offensive should write a letter to Microsoft asking why they couldn't come up with a better name.

So some random troll posts a definition on urban dictionary makes it fact? Of course some will use it as trolling. It really is a pitiful troll but honestly it is widely accepted by both sides as an abbreviation.
